Art can be such a game for insiders. All those fancy words and theories. Those imposing museums. All those impenetrable masterpieces. But ours is a town that loves outsiders, and so it’s a perfect place for so-called outsider art, where art is created not by professional “artists” but by outsiders—the untrained, the marginalized. The nonprofit Opportunity Village knows something about helping those on the outs, and it will host a lecture on outsider art by Brooke Davis Anderson, the director and curator of the Contemporary Center at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. Her lecture is free; just make sure you RSVP.
Through the Lens of Language—A Visual Journey Through Outsider Art. May 29, 11 a.m., free. Opportunity Village. 6300 W. Oakey, 880-4096. Opportunity Village
